-
- INTRODUCTION:
- -------------
- This program is just a computerized version of the old game everyone has
- played a few times in their lives, except this version uses the alien
- cartoon characters of Trab and Asil instead of X's and O's. Just to make
- sure you know the rules, I will give you a short explanation. The object
- of the game is to place either Trab or Asil in one of the spaces and try
- to get three of them in a row either horizontal, vertical or diagonal.
-
- HOW TO PLAY:
- ------------
- Player 1's character is Asil and Player 2's character is Trab. To place a
- character into a space on the board you just click on the box that you want
- it placed in. If you are using the keyboard then please see later section
- entitled USING KEYBOARD.
-
- If you get tired of the current game you are playing then you should click
- on the command RESTART on the Options menu bar and you will be asked if you
- would like to start over, click on YES or NO. Choosing YES will reset the
- number of won games and start over.
-
- In the lower left part of your screen you will see another form with the
- current players character and score. The top one tells you whose turn it
- is, the bottom one tells how many games each player has won. This form will
- always stay on top of all other Windows programs until it is closed.
-
- USING KEYBOARD:
- ---------------
- Here is the keys used for keyboard operation (NUM-LOCK MUST BE ON):
- ex. 7 is upper-left, 3 is lower-right...
-
- |---|---|---|
- | 7 | 8 | 9 |
- |---|---|---|
- | 4 | 5 | 6 |
- |---|---|---|
- | 1 | 2 | 3 |
- |---|---|---|
-
- RESIZING ALIENTIC:
- -----------------
- You can resize the main form to a size you like the same way you do a
- normal window like Program Manager. The characters will resize to fill the
- form and look great at large sizes.
-
- COMMANDS:
- ---------
- The menu command ABOUT just gives you a little information about the
- program.
-
- If you wish to reset the scores and start over then click on the menu
- command named RESTART and you will be asked to confirm this action. If you
- answer Yes then the scores will be reset and a new game will begin.
-
- Selecting EXIT from the menu will pop-up a small window asking if you are
- sure you wish to quit.
-
- If the score and player form ever hides from you then click the menu
- command called INFORMATION and it will be restored to normal operations.
-
- CLOSING:
- --------
- If you use this program and like it a little bit or have some comments or
- problems then either send me a letter with your name, address and phone
- number or call me at my home number which is listed at the closing of this
- document and from then on you will be informed of new versions and new
- programs.
